too he's the biggest drawback i ever had i want to get somewhere i'm ambitious oh there's no future in dancing i want to be a dramatic actress my parents were theatrical people i've inherited talent they don't encourage you they were killed in theater collapse somewhere out west i was brought up in an orphanage when i was old enough i ran away theater collapsed where was this somewhere in colorado i think maybe it was california i don't even know my real name oh then you took the name of lorraine after you ran away yeah my first job was a stooge to a magician but he wouldn't let me alone i threatened to walk out on him and i did one night in the middle of a disappearing act he put me in a basket and i was to appear later in one of those trick boxes well it's the best trick he ever did i guess they're still looking for me then what did you do i joined adagio team that's when i met mack he was agent for the act and i've had nothing but trouble ever since well what i can't understand is why did he have you pinched who had me pinched or your agent or whatever he is what do you mean who gave you that idea well the death sergeant told me had you pinched for a publicity stunt you mean oh no no and yet well maybe i spoke out of turn no maybe i'm grateful do i look dumb not particularly but i am very dumb the light's just beginning to dawn oh oh oh i'll take it easy i'd have never opened my mouth if i thought i was gonna do any harm time you've done me the greatest favor ever i'll do the harm wait till i get my hands on that weasel what i've been through every time i turn around he has some crackpot idea but this time this is the end give me strength give me strength for what come in mr mcgrath sorry i kept you waiting you see i shut up huh answer me one little question just one question who notified the police well uh you see there uh there's always someone who now look at me i can explain very easily you you you well yes no no not that here now

yours i'm through do you understand absolutely through with you and everything of all the contemptible tricks that's gratitude for you she thinks her dance is poetry art with a capital a so i spend my time running around to find places where they appreciate such things yeah get her a boost in salary every time she opens in a new spot and then i work out a clever way of getting publicity clever now listen sweet i'll make it all up to you why i'll line you up say i know a spot that'll pay your real now oh no you don't you and i are through absolutely true okay good night for just a minute the bail oh the video well i didn't come prepared but uh old faithful will more than cover it and don't get any ideas i'll be back for it hey do you ever collect any of these rewards oh i pick up a buck or two occasionally i run across a lot of people in trouble with the law well it's the last time you'll run across me i hope so but you never can tell okay let's go eve miss lorraine to you and please be informed that from now on you and i are through thank you mr hoffman that's what i like about her not a spirit here to collapse colorado out west hmm i've read that ad somewhere [Applause] parents killed quick reward i've got that here somewhere [Applause] hmm thousand dollars reward for information concerning girl born august 4th 1923 whose parents actors were lost in the theater disaster in colorado april 27 1925 yes mr hoffman we ran this advertisement rather extensively about a year ago are you still looking for the girl yes we advertised as a matter of legal routine in connection with the settling of an estate oh no one showed up oh yes we had several applicants they were soon discarded there were no authentic proofs oh that's good because i got a line on the real girl i collect ads like this keep them on fire always with an eye to people who run out on bail that's how i happen to run across this girl i'm telling you about it is necessary to proceed with extreme caution in this matter as it concerns the estate of the late jp sodom sodom oh i've heard that name oh i remember hair tonic sodom scalp saver and dandruff destroyer i tried it once wasn't so hot say old man thought it must have left a water dough the estate runs to several millions just where does this girl fit in the one you advertise for one of the principal heirs jp sardom had two children a son and a daughter the daughter ran away and married an actor named westland against her father's wishes he disowned her never saw her again but he knew she had a baby girl she wrote her at mrs sarah burch to that effect later when he relented and tried to get in touch with his daughter he discovered that she and her husband had been killed but he included his granddaughter and his will the distribution will be made shortly whether we locate the girl or not your search is over facade of mystery is solved of course you realize we'll have to have legal proof of identity you just leave that to me i'll see that everything's regular i'll satisfy myself that this gal is the real mccoy good day mr hoffman i'll be expecting you i don't care what the job is i'm not going to do that dance anymore now look don't forget i've got a contract don't pull that contract routine either well you signed it didn't you yeah but i was too young to know what i was doing you were never that young i wonder what mr hoffman wants to see me about you won't have to wonder long here he comes now now remember whatever his proposition is i'll do the talking for 10 of course sit down mr hoffman yes do you remember my agent yeah but i thought you were firing him i wanted you to talk business with me that was just miss lorraine's artistic temperament besides she can't fire me until my contract expires so that lets you out well if i'm out then she's out of hunk of dough how about it of course i'm interested okay how would you like to be a narrative as to what remember what you told me about your folks in that theater collapse well i sort of remembered reading something about that somewhere yes well get this i ran across an ad for a girl born about the time you were whose mother and father were killed in the same way i ran it down what do you think is on the other end of the rainbow nothing but the jp sodom hair oil millions how exciting but you couldn't be the sartomirus how do you know well you can't prove that she ain't maybe i can prove that she is if i get my cut i knew it i knew i was a lady mac it's really true i couldn't have felt the way i do about well you know about my art and everything unless it was in my blood don't act like a fully this is only a job gus is talking about job don't you be a fool you said the description fits parents actors killed in a theater that's right coffee make mine bonded bourbon this calls for something special champagne cocktail now i know what it was inside of me made me feel the way i did no matter how you feel i still have to dig up a lot of proof look eve isn't it bad enough your trailing veils around and imagining your salome without getting ideas that you're an heiress when you know as well as i do these you're just a good looking dame you're wrong as usual mac and this time i'm going to prove it to you with mr hoffman's help you said it bring me a bottle of champagne [ __ ] oh my god 29. i want to see myself in a mirror to make sure it's really me i feel like i'm walking in my sleep i hope you bump into something hard enough to wake you up oh don't discourage her but i think she is this autumn gal she'll be able acted better but you can't get away with it well why not paul sodom was just a quack who got rich in the patent medicine racket when it was good why should you expect his granddaughter to be any better than this little cut that don't ever forget as far as you're concerned she's always missed lorraine okay okay with me it's strictly business so long as i get my dough and probably 10 years in the jug how are you going to dig up a birth certificate how did you know i was going to dig up a birth certificate was i born yesterday you're acting like it if you was wise you'd string along make this girl believe she is the missing heiress i don't get it if a guy who spends his time making bail for law breakers is dumb enough to run into a 10-year wrap for conspiracy or something it's okay by me but i don't want eve mixed up in it cut it here she comes well let's get down to business to the side of millions to the sardom family from now on i'll always be a lady lady eve they'll call me i have gone over the proofs you submitted mr hoffman they appear to be satisfactory quite an order how soon can the reward be collected as soon as the court determines that the young lady is really margaret westland's daughter the will is in probate court you know oh there's no doubt about the outcome i've talked to mr horasardam son of the founder of the business and uncle of the uh missing heiress no more she's not missing we've decided that mr arranged to meet the sodom family they'd like to have you come to dinner at their home next saturday evening miss lorraine i'll be so happy to meet them you have no idea how wonderful it is to feel that you i mean i belong to a family at last and really know who i am shall i call for you miss lorraine no thank you that won't be necessary if i might bring my manager with me manager oh she means her agent she's just used to doing what he says you know like following a lawyer's advice anyway this isn't exactly a social call well perhaps that's the way to look at it eight o'clock then miss lorraine the address 1242 commodore drive i've seen the house from the outside goodbye miss lorraine until saturday goodbye mr campbell goodbye whatever happens remember i didn't want you to go ahead with this you'll probably land us both in jail don't you ever mention that word to me again and don't talk too much you'll give away what you really are i'm really half sodom and the other half is plain sardine good evening uh we're expected i think miss lorraine mr mcgrath would you please get in oh may i take your hat sir i should place the ladies coat in the guest room at the head of the stairs sir this way please mr lorraine and mr mcgrath good evening miss lorraine mr campbell mr mcgrath how are you how do you do i'm using my own name miss westland miss sardone i'm very happy to know you miss wesley uh mrs sun how do you do my daughter melissa hello my accent mr mcgrath how do you do it how do you do hey come on let's sit up ever since mr campbell told us about you we've been very anxious to meet you miss wesley couldn't you just call me eve uncle horace as to any relationship we will be guided by the court decisions you see why i came along i'm her manager no thank you she's have to let her enthusiasm run away with her think it over i said you're getting along all right you better be careful we got something to lose as well as to gain this deal indeed naturally mr mcgrath wants me to continue my career definitely he's afraid you might catch gentility and it's very dull for years we've tried to imagine what margaret's child was like all my life i've wondered about my parents how they look everything i personally can't imagine a dancer in the family why not my mother married an actor and went on the stage with him i can't understand the sword of making such a choice uh shall we drink a toast to the latest member of the family thank you uncle horace might as well give in mother you'll be at lavinia before dinner's over you know what's funny about this whole thing i'll tell you you know he blames me for her arrest if she hadn't been taking the night course you wouldn't have met this bail bondsman and then she never even heard of this missing heiress talk about coincidences night court what was she arrested for dancing not enough clothes how disgraceful living you told us only that the girl was a dancer when you suggested we invite her here i'm sorry mr hoffman didn't say how he met the young lady but that's beside the point the only question is whether or not if she's jp soren's granddaughter even if she were i wouldn't accept such a a person socially never mind uncle horace i don't care she's only an in-law i'm a stardom there may be some doubt about that there's no doubt about your manners i've never met anyone on the stage or in police court as rude as you are and the next time you see me it will be in court who thinks swinging a few veils around her head would give a girl such strength well now don't everybody get upset that's just her artistic temperament just let her cool off she'll come back put up your hands and don't move come here closer so i can see you is that thing loaded no it's only a toy there isn't anything real in this whole house i'm sorry i frightened you i was looking for my coach well i'm glad you came in it's kind of loose from not seeing anybody but the family i'm one of the family i guess i'm eve westland margaret weston's baby will burn my sagebrush i'm your aunt sarah i hadn't heard about you i'm the only one margaret wrote to when you were born i was living out in wyoming then oh your mother was a fine girl honey you're swell aunt sarah sue you're the girl the sardone's been so upset about this week nobody told me you were coming here when this company i stay in my room i was so happy to think i really had a family until tonight aunt lavinia never mind her she's fit to be tired because the lawyer found you uncle horace was nice oh yes but lavinia rides hurt on him too much he's the one invited me here to visit them and i know he wants me to have a good time but he hasn't had a chance to take me to even one night club and he won't either unless lavinia diets herself into a hospital do you mean to say you've never been to a new york night spot i haven't been out of this crowd well it's time you got out you and i are going to do a little howling do you mean it yep i'm starved how about you well i have what you need is a little drink to give you an appetite a drink whoops now we're rolling i danced here you did greetings lorraine good to see you again we missed you thank you may i take your order we'll have a cocktail and sarah what will it be but what are you having what would you suggest taxi a taxi well i should say not we just got here that's a drink answer it's something like a side car only it gets you rolling a little faster that's for me too i wouldn't be too upset everything will work out all right have your smelling salts ready mother what what has happened melissa our little guest has kidnapped and sarah or vice versa anyway they're gone well ten percent of nothing is nothing to ask sarah the relative who makes up for the rest of them none exposed to you to my grandniece who's the spitting image of old jp so far as brains and spirit go [Music] now tell me about him welcome to club suzanne tonight we start our little show with a maid and her organ ladies and gentlemen seleka petticoat [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] when max said i was arrested aunt lavinia blew up shooks your grandfather was arrested more than once and he was trying to put his patent medicine over why well seems the medicine was worse than the sickness and then he got a bright idea and changed the labels to hair restorer and his fortune was made they're supposed to show there's some good in anything the law hadn't finally caught up with him is my grandfather ever really in jail sure my husband sent him money once for a lawyer to get him out i guess i've just been unconsciously following in his footsteps why should the sardones look down on me my husband was a cattleman and a banker and he looked down on a patent medicine man he offered jp a job in his bank he laughed at him and said while you're making thousands in this bank i'll be making millions and he did my grandfather yep and he had a lot of character too [Music] i'll be a credit to him from now on [Applause] oh it's wonderful i had no idea that stardom state owned apartment houses too most of the sign of money is invested in real estate miss westland giving up your career was an excellent idea he met with the approval of the sardines i'm a sodom and i did it because i didn't want to do anything to bring disrespect on the family name i understand mr and appreciate your attitude and he asked me to place funds at your disposal money from the estate or his own well sort of a personal allowance to enable you to live like asylum you may repay him if you like when the estate is settled i do appreciate uncle horace's kindness and generosity mr sodom's going to meet us here he asked me to explain what he had in mind however to make it plain the apartment aside on properties so you might almost say you own a part of it if the court so decides i know how do you do how are you doing to campbell all right campbell and sarah hello eve uncle horace how nice how are you miss wesley how do you like the place i love it this is nice come on show me around that's a good idea i haven't seen it myself excuse me as i said before this seems a very wise move the financial support will prevent any further publicity that doesn't enter into it i've been greatly upset by the way we've treated the girl if she is my niece she should be taken care of of course however one angle the matter does trouble me what's that well if the court disproves her claim well the girl is so positive that she's a stardom member of a family at last it's going to hurt that's right there's so many gadgets in that kitchen you want to get yourself an electrician to show you how to run them the apartment's adorable i never saw anything so lovely i'm glad you like it my dear it's yours as long as you wish uncle horace i have a request oh of course could we arrange to have aunt sarah live here with me i'd like to stay with eve we could take care of each other besides i think it'll make it easier for you with lavinia if i got out if it pleases you both i'm for it we'll have fun besides time i put my money in circulation anyway uncle horace how can i ever thank you you don't have to my dear it makes me very happy can we move in today everything's taken care of well shall we run along and let the ladies take possession i'll go home and break the new slovenia perhaps i'd better ah now don't be worrying horus i'm not gonna put my foot in it i'll just say i found an apartment and i'm taking evil thanks how's levine gonna be mad and glad at the same time that's right goodbye my goodbye goodbye mrs burch goodbye mr campbell goodbye are you seeing him oh and sarah i've got to work so hard i've got so much to learn to be a stardom now don't go straight laced on me better be just what you are after all we want to have some fun don't we but don't society people have fun well i guess so but not the sardines i've always thought family life must be wonderful can you imagine lavinia in the middle of a warm and cozy family life as for me i want to kick up my heels let's start by having one of those taxis i don't understand double talk especially over the phone what's on your mind guys sit down i don't trust things in the first place now i find this chick has run out on me i'll take it easy what do you mean she ran out on you she can be reached anytime and anyway you can always get in touch with me how many times do i have to tell you that my deal is with ms lorraine i know that sodom's had given her an apartment in a bank account i'm all about that so what so i think i have just a little something coming you haven't got a thing coming except the reward and you'll get that when the court decides supposing the court doesn't decide you can't blame me for trying to dip my spoon into the gravy that's being passed around that's way out of line mr hoffman since when are you butting into my business mr mcgrath i'll butt in whenever her interests are concerned i didn't want her mixed up in this mess and you know it now that she is i don't want any trouble from you she's living off the fat of the land she might be in jail if it wasn't for me and that's just where i can put it but not without putting yourself there too be careful hoffman two can play at that kind of bluff look eve is a good kid and she wouldn't gone for any such cockeyed idea she hadn't believed it was the real thing and legitimate and if there's any warning to be done i'll do it just a minute in every big deal of this kind there's a bird and a worm just don't ruffle my feathers did you ever hear about the worm that turned are you home honey hi aunt sarah don't fall over the boxes oh hurry on out here i want to see what's in them did you get your shopping done i never had a chance back and i took in the ball game whoo i'm full of pop and peanuts and terry you say the funniest thing come on hurry up don't you try everything on here's something from young sportswear all right i'll start with that just think i've never played a game of tennis or ridden a horse well if a horse ever saw you on that outfit he'd certainly shy they're for tennis i want to get tan why do you want to ruin a nice white scheme because it reminds me of my past dancing under spotlights now i'm going to get my exercise under the sun and make [Music] holy smokes looks like a bargain sailing hello max i told you what a swell time we had this afternoon it was fun wasn't it it's a good thing i said i didn't have a gun she just shot the umpire what are you doing in those things i thought you were the girl who's never going to show her legs again this is a tennis outfit you can't play tennis i can learn i don't get it why is it more respectable to show your legs and sunshine than at night it isn't but there's a ruling on it in the city ordinance remember all right you win how about a drink meg okay say have you heard from gus hoffman lately no how do you like this class with a capital k you know evie might try to make trouble if you have to all this why well he figures he's got something coming he's got his reward coming hasn't he well yes but he might try a double cross and try to get some of this this is just an advanced michael horus well maybe i'm dumb eve but i'm still smart enough to know that you're heading for trouble why mr mcgrath you're so concerned all of a sudden i give up don't say i didn't warn you now that we've settled back if you'll excuse me i'll go change say i've got two tickets for the show tonight why don't you take out sarah i've got to study study certainly i have two french lessons a week from my diamond oh no oh yes i'm also studying shakespeare with professor

man here in time to prevent her from going on she's going to make a fool out of herself i'm not talking about an arrest but this is not a publicity stunt honest not a chance mac i'd lose my job if i

this i'll see you later wait a minute max you go to the apartment and wait for eve she's going to need you i'll have to get her things together that'll take me at least a half hour i'll give you a chance alone with her before i get there [Music] we're leaving i will sit through this for another moment you're responsible for this act you got the girl mad and they seem to be enjoying it [Music] honey you are wonderful now you got a long home i'm going to stick around to talk to horace in a vineyard [Music] what do you want just visiting pretty glossy didn't i tell you to stay away from here i haven't any business with you i want to see eve lorraine anything you've got to say to her you can say to me and talk fast i'm not in the habit of talking fast and i'm not taking orders from you i'll wait i thought i made it clear that you'll have nothing coming until a business is settled i think different what's the matter afraid you'll discover your fraud i'm not afraid of anything i'm just moving in on my share looks like you've moved in on yours [Music] so [Music] [Music] so miss lorraine what's the matter i'll get a doctor call it please no need for a doctor what happened the police will probably ask you that i came as soon as i heard i knew you would what in heaven's name happened i arrived home and found all the lights on i walked in and there was gus hoffman on the floor man what did you say i gave back my key at the theater and told him to wait for you at the apartment mack do you think he you don't know anything let me handle this thank heavens i called horus he's on his way here oh no stop him don't let him come near you what do you mean you got to have help no no that's all very fine but they've got you snubbed to the post you've got to think of yourself here's the man who questioned me you'll probably ask me to leave hurry aunt sarah please stop uncle horace don't let him come here i'll see you later we're going to release you i'm not under arrest anymore no you're free to go this way we have a confession from a man named mcgrath mack he was picked up in a dazed condition as soon as he recovered he explained what happened he claimed self-defense can we see him please not before the hearing come on eve let's get out of here i never did like jails oh here he is good i'm glad they didn't hold you thanks the preliminary hearing didn't take long the only fingerprints on the gun were those of hoffman i think the evidence mr campbell uncovered about hoffman's having done a term for forgery had a lot to do with it hot isn't it i went into the veil bondsman's past as a routine matter in connection with mrs weslen's claim when i found help clear mr mcgrath i felt sure that hoffman had forged the evidence to prove he's right to his share of the estate but of course she never had any such idea the strange thing about it is if he hadn't been so anxious and greedy he might have had legitimate proof that's what i want i still think that eve is my niece there are just too many coincidences in this case you're right we could expect one or two similarities but not identical experiences i have an investigator making a thorough search follow it through mr stardom you advance steve a sum of money which she naturally wants to repay here's part of it why i don't want any of her money i couldn't think of taking it if you knew her as well as i did you'd know that she'd be hurt if you didn't take it all right but i think we'll soon find that it's all in the family oh excuse me hello yes she's here now she's leaving right away oh yes all right but tell him to make it snappy i'll do my best to hold her aunt sarah aren't you ready yet i'm all packed but what's the hurry it's nearly two hours to train time i told you i want to get away without seeing anyone i suppose i'll have plenty of time to study out the ranch oh shucks you think just because i discovered that gus hoffman was a forger 20 years ago you're not my grandniece as soon as we get there all right mr campbell withdraw my claim what's come over you eve you haven't done anything to be ashamed of and how can you possibly run out on a nice young fella like mac i said goodbye to him after the hearing in the courtroom well he didn't think you meant it for keeps i want to get myself straightened out you're a sardom all right stubborn as old jp please antara will you get ready oh all right i'll be ready my chicken i wonder who that is i'll see hello horath hi aunt sir hello mag you sure made a good witness for me shucks i was prepared to shoot our way out if i had to here's your gun the d.a sent it back but you better have it registered not where i'm going i don't want your money eve you don't owe me anything but i oh mack told me how you felt [Music] max take your hands out of your pockets now look honey i'll get it back don't i always that was most sales stock in your dressing room i was on the level you mean about loving me i always have i guess without knowing it i always will yippee [Music] you
